Surf With Maine Gear & Guides

In the southern part of the state lies a cluster of picturesque beach breaks and river mouths where you’ll find Maine’s premier surf spots. This small section of the massive coastline has the right kind of terrain for surfable waves that are clean, consistent, and yes, still chilly, even when conditions are prime. Around here, we’re not afraid of a little cold. It’s best during the fall and winter thanks to powerful storm swells, but the stoke is well and good all year-long. Check out the local board builders, shop owners, and organizations who keep the spirit alive.
